Meet Gary, the baby Kereru!

 

                                

Room 9 had a surprise visitor today, when Charley brought a rescued baby pigeon to school. The pigeon had been found by Dustin, after it had fallen out of its nest, high up in a tall tree. It had no feathers at all and couldn't feed itself. Over the week that Charley's family have been nursing the pigeon, it has grown some feathers and learnt how to eat dry food. They still give it water to ensure that it is hydrated. 
Dustin has named the bird Gary and although it is hard to tell for sure, we think that Gary is a native wood pigeon, a kereru. 

Wig Wednesday in Room 9

Thanks to everyone who had a wacky hairstyle or wore a wig to school today.

Kirsten wrote this letter on Friday and got to enjoy her pizza the next day.

Dear Hell Pizza

I'm doing good at reading. I'm looking forward to getting my pizza.

I think I'm doing another pizza wheel too, I think it's going to be delicious and great.

From Kirsten

It certainly looks like she enjoyed her free pizza 👍

Thank you letters to Hell Pizza

This Term Room 9 children have enjoyed reading and eating free pizzas.
So we thought we should write to Hell Pizza and thank them.
Here are a few of the letters we wrote:

Dear Hell Pizza,

Thank you for your delicious pizzas and great service and kindness. I have earned 2 garlic base pizzas with salami and a yummy doughnut. I really enjoy your pizzas. I am working hard on getting me 3rd pizza wheel. You deserve a gold medal. Keep it up!

From Claudia

Dear Hell Pizza,

You have been making reading fun. I can't wait until I get my first pizza. I only have three more books to go. My favourite is ham and pineapple.

From Mahuika

Dear Hell Pizza,

You may have pulled my stomach apart and burnt my tongue with the hottest spices in the world, called Russian Roulette, but I think you are my most favourite restaurant and food in the world! I'm trying to get a free yummy pizza by reading seven books.

From Blake 

Dear Hell Pizza,

Thank you for giving us free pizza after we have read seven books. I have done six book reports and I only need one more. My favourite pizza is pepperoni pizza because my mouth loves the taste.

From Pharrell

Another reading champion!

Congratulations Sam.
You look very smart in your uniform. Hope you didn't get any blobs of pizza on it! 😀
